THM Capital Advisory advises the shareholders of JBH Santé in its sale to the France Conventions group

THM Capital Advisory advised the shareholders of JBH Santé in connection with the sale of the company to the France Conventions group.

With this operation, France Conventions, organizer of leading exhibitions in contemporary art (Art Paris) and real estate (Sibca, Low Carbon Real Estate Show), decides to enter the health market by relying on a recognized platform for medical conferences and professional publishing.

JBH Santé organizes medical conferences mainly in ophthalmology, as well as rheumatology and gynecology, and publishes three journals in these same specialties.

The JROs (Ophthalmological Reflections Days), an annual ophthalmology conference of reference in France, constitute the main asset of the company, complemented by the organization of congresses and symposiums in regions on specific ophthalmology themes.

Taken over in 2021 by Emmanuelle Gorsse, a professional in the organization of exhibitions and conferences, accompanied by three active private shareholders, the company created more than 25 years ago by Dr. Jacques Halimi has received a new impetus.

Emmanuelle Gorsse says:

“We managed to perpetuate and improve the digital transformations undertaken during the health crisis while developing four new congresses on our specialties. We also improved the financial performance of JBH Santé by increasing advertising revenue from magazines and rationalizing conference organization costs. (...) We have every confidence in France Conventions to maintain this growth momentum.”

Julien Lecêtre, who owns and manages the France Conventions group with his sister Valentine Lecêtre, indicates:

“We want to build on the solid positions of JBH Santé in a resilient medical sector to create new conferences and consolidate the Company's successful start in consulting and scientific studies.”
